Import can’t find camera
Apr 17, 2019 15:16:37 #
Lightroom Classic CC no longer brings up my D850 when I choose import. It did find my D750 yesterday but I just tried it and it doesn’t find it now either. Any idea why or what I can do to get the program to find them again? I have never had an issue before. Thanks in advance.

Going in the premise that your camera is connected, it could be a bad cable. Are you using the same cable for the D705 and the D850? Do you have another cable to try?

It won’t find the D750 now either. They work on 2 different cables. I’ve tried different USB slots as well.

Have you tried shutting down and rebooting the computer? After doing that, does the cameara show up as a drive letter with the other disks if you look at the drives?

Have an occasional problem with peripherals and one computer not seeing another on my network.
Re-booting fixes those.

Use a card reader. Wear and tear on a card reader is no problem as it is cheap to replace. Wear and tear on the on-camera USB port is a whole other story.

Yes, in all attempts the cameras were ON. And yes, have rebooted several times. No luck with that. Thanks for the suggestions.

The key question. Is it Lightroom that’s not seeing your cameras or is it the computer. Sounds like it may be a problem with the USB bus.

I had a similar problem recently after a Windows 10 update. My computer wouldn’t recognize memory cards when I inserted them into the built in card reader. It also didn’t recognize a USB expansion card that I had installed when the computer operated under Windows 7. I replaced the USB card with one that is compatible with Windows 10 and the driver for that card was also an update for the built in card reader. It recognized my memory cards again.

When if comes to playing a card reader in real life, a $10 reader may do a better job than a $2500 camera. To help solve the problem, try substituting each component methodically, as you started doing. (Hopefully there are not two problems). You already did some of this. It would be nice to find the cause.
Remember that a shaky contact or socket will work intermittently and confuse both computers whether it is connected. Each device goes through its own sequence of connecting and handshaking every time a connection breaks and reconnects, so there is delay in learning that whatever you did actually worked. Add to that, jiggling the connector is probably going to make a defective connector even worse. I would get a card reader and isolate from there if you still have a problem and leave the cameras to do what they were made for.

But does the camera show up as a drive letter after the reboot?
